RP3- Lyrics and Liner Notes.
Recording this CD would not have been possible without the help of our good friends, whom we'd like to thank here.
Rand Swansey- provided many hours of graphic design, scanning, and artwork. His spectacular collages are sprinkled throughout the web site, and on the CD's inner sleeve.
Jason K. Roy and Monica LeBouthillier- helped translate and record "Right About Now" into French. Theirs are the first voices heard on that particular track. A printing error resulted in the misspelling of Monica's last name in the liner notes of the CD itself, a mistake for which we hope she can forgive us. We are truly sorry, and for the record, it's Monica LeBouthillier!

Lyrics:
Rand Swansey Collage 1
Track 1- One Foot First.
One foot first, then the other one.
You’re glancing at your wrist...
On your mark, and you’re off...
into the morning mist
Dawn will break, some will fall...
or burn out on the way
When you slip don’t give up ...
and don’t be led astray
Just remember your reason why
Your season high
Get up off of your knees and try
And if anybody sees you cry
And they happen to tease or pry
Get up into that breeze and fly
Yes you can!
One foot first then the other one
We’re closer than we were
Take my hand take my heart
Which would you prefer?
I remember your reason why
your season high
Get up off of your knees and try
If I happen to see you cry
I would never ever tease or pry
I’ll get you up into that breeze and fly
Yes you can!
One foot first, then the other one.
You’re glancing at your wrist...
On your mark, and you’re off...
into the morning mist
Dawn will break, some will fall...
or burn out on the way
When you slip don’t give up ...
and don’t be led astray
Just remember your reason why
Your season high
Get up off of your knees and try
And if anybody sees you cry
And they happen to tease or pry
Get up into that breeze and fly
Yes you can!
One foot first then the other one
We’re closer than we were
Take my hand take my heart
Which would you prefer?
I remember your reason why
your season high
Get up off of your knees and try
If I happen to see you cry
I would never ever tease or pry
I’ll get you up into that breeze and fly
Yes you can!
Track 2- Dream Come To Me.
Dream, come to me in the night
Take my hand ‘til the morning light
Dream, come show me that I’ll be all right
Take my hand ‘til the morning light
Dream, keep me strong through the long, cold night
Take my hand, help me get it right
Dream, come and stay, ‘til the day turns bright
Keep me strong through the long cold night
Take my hand, help me get it right
Come and stay until the day turns bright
Dream, come to be in my life
Until my darkness and the dawn unite
Dream, can’t you see that I need your sight
Together we could carry on forever in the light
Take my hand, help me get it right,
take my hand ‘til the morning light
Keep me strong through the long dark night,
take my hand, take me to the light
All the way All the way …
Take my hand ‘til the morning light
Dream, come show me that I’ll be all right
Take my hand ‘til the morning light
Dream, keep me strong through the long, cold night
Take my hand, help me get it right
Dream, come and stay, ‘til the day turns bright
Keep me strong through the long cold night
Take my hand, help me get it right
Come and stay until the day turns bright
Dream, come to be in my life
Until my darkness and the dawn unite
Dream, can’t you see that I need your sight
Together we could carry on forever in the light
Take my hand, help me get it right,
take my hand ‘til the morning light
Keep me strong through the long dark night,
take my hand, take me to the light
All the way All the way …
Track 3- Everything or Nothing.
Rand Swansey Collage 2
Well we could wait and watch and wish or toss a coin or feed the fish
the fortune cookie from the night before
These sniffles aren’t my sinuses; the plusses and the minuses
are everything you said they’d be and more... so much more...
And it’s everything or nothing at all
Well we could wait and watch and wish, or peek inside the petri dish
a major revelation for to find
a tardy little Trojan horse; a knight on a collision course
a miracle that maybe I won’t mind... maybe i won’t mind
And it’s everything or nothing at all...
and all this time this rhyme keeps rolling through my mind
Be kind. Rewind. I’m not so far behind.
Well I don’t want to wish and watch and wait
or leave it in the hands of fate and pray for inspiration from above
No, I’ve finally got it figured out
from stern to stem and seed to sprout
it’s everything that we’ve been dreaming of
I know that you love me.
I can tell that you care
Still say that you need me
BABY !?!?!
As if I wasn’t aware that it’s everything or nothing...
Everything or nothing at all
the fortune cookie from the night before
These sniffles aren’t my sinuses; the plusses and the minuses
are everything you said they’d be and more... so much more...
And it’s everything or nothing at all
Well we could wait and watch and wish, or peek inside the petri dish
a major revelation for to find
a tardy little Trojan horse; a knight on a collision course
a miracle that maybe I won’t mind... maybe i won’t mind
And it’s everything or nothing at all...

Track 4- Long-Ago Train.
Rand Swansey Collage 3
Long-ago train take me back there again
Take me back where I can see how it was back then
Far-away train carry these memories
Clear over the years to me
Show me how it used to be
Time’s old telling traces wearing down the soles of these shoes
I’ve been traveling places staring down the ones I can use
Got these holes in my shoes,got these holes in my shoes
Vagabond train- pull away with these wayward souls
Looking out from their cubbyholes
Chewing on their crusty rolls
Steady-on train keep these wanderers on their way
Keep the workaday world at bay
Keep ‘em on the come-what-may
Time and far-off places, wearing down the soles of these shoes
I’ve been gathering traces, holding on to ones I might use
Oh, the ones that might do, oh the ones that ring true
Rock-a-bye train, held again in your gentle sway
I so easily drift away and dream about a different day
Lullabye train, roll away on these iron wheels
I’ll remembering just how it feels to the end of the line
Take me back where I can see how it was back then
Far-away train carry these memories
Clear over the years to me
Show me how it used to be
Time’s old telling traces wearing down the soles of these shoes
I’ve been traveling places staring down the ones I can use
Got these holes in my shoes,got these holes in my shoes
Vagabond train- pull away with these wayward souls
Looking out from their cubbyholes
Chewing on their crusty rolls
Steady-on train keep these wanderers on their way
Keep the workaday world at bay
Keep ‘em on the come-what-may
Time and far-off places, wearing down the soles of these shoes
I’ve been gathering traces, holding on to ones I might use
Oh, the ones that might do, oh the ones that ring true
Rock-a-bye train, held again in your gentle sway
I so easily drift away and dream about a different day
Lullabye train, roll away on these iron wheels
I’ll remembering just how it feels to the end of the line
Track 5- Drive On.
Rand Swansey CD Design
Number Nine, can you keep between your lines?
Four and Five, just keep yourselves alive
Engineer, take a track they all seem clear
Intertwined somewhere down the line
Driving through the night
As right as rain, and rain’s all right
Driving through the day
Not a lot to say along the way
Drive on- Your worries are behind you
Drive on- let’s leave ‘em as they lie
Engineer, did you say, “The coast is clear.”?
Can we climb onward down the line?
Driving through the night
As right as rain, and rain’s all right
Driving through the day
Not a lot to say along the way
Drive on- Your worries are behind you
Drive on- Let’s leave ‘em as they lie
Drive on- Your worries are behind you
Drive on- Let’s leave ‘em as they lie
Four and Five, just keep yourselves alive
Engineer, take a track they all seem clear
Intertwined somewhere down the line
Driving through the night
As right as rain, and rain’s all right
Driving through the day
Not a lot to say along the way
Drive on- Your worries are behind you
Drive on- let’s leave ‘em as they lie
Engineer, did you say, “The coast is clear.”?
Can we climb onward down the line?
Driving through the night
As right as rain, and rain’s all right
Driving through the day
Not a lot to say along the way
Drive on- Your worries are behind you
Drive on- Let’s leave ‘em as they lie
Drive on- Your worries are behind you
Drive on- Let’s leave ‘em as they lie
Track 6- It's That Easy.
RP3 Cover
He was this rolling Cheerio, and she The Holy Ramblin’ Rosie
She played the meenie-miney-moe, and caught the wily tiger by the toe
He bared his soul in stereo, and soon became her only Romeo
She brought her sugar to the show,
and had to know he’d flash “All systems go!”
She said, said something like,
“I’m gonna know you, and you’re gonna know me…
It’s that easy.”
Long nights so cozy from the cold,
they rode just like an old-time rodeo
Hi-ho, and off to work they’dgo
Sometimes fast, and sometimes oh so slow
She said, she said something like,
“I’m gonna know you, and you’re gonna know meIt’s that easy.”
They carry on and on and on, though
seems she has some other seeds to sow
Spring comes and things begin to grow
Next thing he knows, he’s looking backwards singing solo
She said, said something like,
“I got to know you, and you got to know me…It’s that easy.”
The sun shines the same as long ago,
it just might rise again tomorrow
the moon can set the night aglow
But Venus throws the longest shadow

Track 7- Complicated
I’m in... I’m in over my head again.
I’m in... I’m in over my head and it’s hard
to breathe in here
How’d it get so complicated?
It used to be so easy to do
Now I feel my laugh lines fading
I’m about through, amigo
I’m out... I must be out of my head again
I’m out... I think I’m out of my head and it’s hard
to breathe out here
How’d it get do complicated?
It used to be so easy to do
But now I feel my laugh lines fading
I’m about through, amigo
All these complications...
Things I’m s’posed to do.
Rules and regulations...
Overdone. Overrun. Then I turn to you...
How’d it get do complicated? It used to be so easy to do
But now I feel my laugh lines fading I’m about through amigo
I’m in... I’m in over my head and it’s hard
to breathe in here

Track 8- Deep In The Night.
Rand Swansey Collage 4
Deep In The Night
Deep in the night, outside my window
I watch the clouds grow
Hiding a star that was never so clear, never so bright
Deep in the night
Deep into the night, my words are waiting
My hopes are fading
As this candle sinks in a silent glimmer of light
Deep in the night
Deep in the night, along some lonely highway
Could she be coming my way
Holding close to the hope that this road will turn out right?
Deep in the night
Deep into the night, I guess I have her answer
I guess I’ve lost my chance to
See how one that’s divided in two comes to reunite
Deep in the night
Time after time can two hearts realign?
Can two dreams recombine?
Or could we settle just for a better way to get by?
Deep in the night
Deep in the night, along the fencerow
A moving shadow sliding over
the lawn in the sweep of two headlights
Deep in the night
Deep into the night, a touch of day glow
We could hardly let go as we
Close our eye to the miles we’re leaving behind
Deep in the night
Deep in the night, outside my window
I watch the clouds grow
Hiding a star that was never so clear, never so bright
Deep in the night
Deep into the night, my words are waiting
My hopes are fading
As this candle sinks in a silent glimmer of light
Deep in the night
Deep in the night, along some lonely highway
Could she be coming my way
Holding close to the hope that this road will turn out right?
Deep in the night
Deep into the night, I guess I have her answer
I guess I’ve lost my chance to
See how one that’s divided in two comes to reunite
Deep in the night
Time after time can two hearts realign?
Can two dreams recombine?
Or could we settle just for a better way to get by?
Deep in the night
Deep in the night, along the fencerow
A moving shadow sliding over
the lawn in the sweep of two headlights
Deep in the night
Deep into the night, a touch of day glow
We could hardly let go as we
Close our eye to the miles we’re leaving behind
Deep in the night
Track 9- The Idea of Love.
Rand Swansey Collage 5- Steve Gulian Sea of Lyrics
There’s a part of me that people seldom see
deep inside...deep inside
and that part of me at the heart of me
wants to cry...needs a cry
I wish i could love (love, love, love)
more than I love the idea of love
There’s a part of me that thinks too logically
deep inside...deep inside
You say love instead should be intuited
not deduced...what’s the use?
i wish i could love (love, love, love)
more than I love the idea of love
I’m out where the red fern grows
in the emperor’s brand new clothes
there’s a part of me that really wants to see
like you see and agree when you say to me
that it’s OK to be who I am
Oh, you understand
i wish i could love (love, love, love)
more than I love the idea of love
deep inside...deep inside
and that part of me at the heart of me
wants to cry...needs a cry
I wish i could love (love, love, love)
more than I love the idea of love
There’s a part of me that thinks too logically
deep inside...deep inside
You say love instead should be intuited
not deduced...what’s the use?
i wish i could love (love, love, love)
more than I love the idea of love
I’m out where the red fern grows
in the emperor’s brand new clothes
there’s a part of me that really wants to see
like you see and agree when you say to me
that it’s OK to be who I am
Oh, you understand
i wish i could love (love, love, love)
more than I love the idea of love
Track 10- Finally Comes The Day.
Eric Frakes on Mandolin
Finally comes the day
Water color-warm, the sunrise starts in me
Becomes a part of me.
The evening and the afterthought
Faded in the navy twilight--
prayed it might--
Felt the sea change overnight.
And now, Finally comes the day
This watercolor morning
Answers to the best in me…
Share in the rest with me.
Water color-warm, the sunrise starts in me
Becomes a part of me.
The evening and the afterthought
Faded in the navy twilight--
prayed it might--
Felt the sea change overnight.
And now, Finally comes the day
This watercolor morning
Answers to the best in me…
Share in the rest with me.
Track 11- I Belong With You.
Rand Swansey Collage 6
Well, you know it’s true
I’ve been back and forth and ‘round and ‘round and you...
You’ve been there too
I think we’re two of a kind
So let’s double down and lay it on the line
We’ll be fine
It may be right...it may be wrong
and I’ve been holding out so long
Now I know it’s true- I belong with you
We’ve got some years
And there might be something grinding in the gears
On a trail of tears is where I ran into you
And we both had been around a block or two
Just passing through
We might be cursed; we might be blessed
When we collide and coalesce
I can tell it’s true- I belong with you
It’s nothing new to look long enough to find a flaw or two
There’s a lot to do, and redo
Ignore the cracks and peeling paint
I never ever said I was a saint
Banged up, black and blue- but, I belong with you
Baby, I belong with you
I know it’s true...You know it’s true...We know it’s true
Oh, it’s true...I belong with you
I’ve been back and forth and ‘round and ‘round and you...
You’ve been there too
I think we’re two of a kind
So let’s double down and lay it on the line
We’ll be fine
It may be right...it may be wrong
and I’ve been holding out so long
Now I know it’s true- I belong with you
We’ve got some years
And there might be something grinding in the gears
On a trail of tears is where I ran into you
And we both had been around a block or two
Just passing through
We might be cursed; we might be blessed
When we collide and coalesce
I can tell it’s true- I belong with you
It’s nothing new to look long enough to find a flaw or two
There’s a lot to do, and redo
Ignore the cracks and peeling paint
I never ever said I was a saint
Banged up, black and blue- but, I belong with you
Baby, I belong with you
I know it’s true...You know it’s true...We know it’s true
Oh, it’s true...I belong with you
Track 12- Show Me.
@ Hit City Recording
Strange motion sets me on my feet
Got a notion--a place where I’d like to be
Show me Show me Show me a way to you
Deep rhythms start me on my way
Keepin’ with ‘em gonna see me through another day
Show me Show me Show me a way to you
Oh, show me another... Oh show me another... Oh show me a way to you
Keep comin’... Shine on to shine on through
Keep me hummin’ this song that returns to you
Show me...Show me... Show me a way to you
Got a notion--a place where I’d like to be
Show me Show me Show me a way to you
Deep rhythms start me on my way
Keepin’ with ‘em gonna see me through another day
Show me Show me Show me a way to you
Oh, show me another... Oh show me another... Oh show me a way to you
Keep comin’... Shine on to shine on through
Keep me hummin’ this song that returns to you
Show me...Show me... Show me a way to you
Track 13- Right About Now.
Steve Gulian Singing to the Sea
...le vent ou l'ocean?
.....baignade dans le Tao?
Qu'est-ce que cette vague d'emotion...
que je ressens en ce moment?
Long wait-Was it wind or the ocean?
Blind faith-Was there a dip in the Tao?
Strong wave-What’s with the wave of emotion?
and how-I’m feeling right about now
Oh my- I had a dozen defenses
Deep sigh- Just like an old sacred cow
Sky high- When will i come to my senses?
Somehow- I’m thinking right about now
Just like a stone i sink alone
Have i been skipped or simply thrown
out on my own, in this unknown,
can I atone for all those times I let you down
back on solid ground
When will you know I love you so?
I’m thinking right about now
right about now.

Track 14- Warm Him.
Eric Frakes in Studio
Little child, sweet and hopeful smile
Turns his eyes to mine, knows that all the while I’ll
Warm him when he’s cold…
Watch him be, let him show you
How it is to know that every day the world is new, and…
Could this be as simple as it seems
An easy gleam of time to make good on some favorite dreams
Mmm…Warm him when he’s lost and lonely on the way to something shining
When the whole of it combining brings you down
Know that below the wavy ocean there is a deeper, peaceful way to be
Oh, and for all my crazy notions there is a steady place right next to me
I want to be there when you’re walking When you start walking along your wobbly way
I’ll be right behind you when you’re walking, when you go walking
Away some day
Turns his eyes to mine, knows that all the while I’ll
Warm him when he’s cold…
Watch him be, let him show you
How it is to know that every day the world is new, and…
Could this be as simple as it seems
An easy gleam of time to make good on some favorite dreams
Mmm…Warm him when he’s lost and lonely on the way to something shining
When the whole of it combining brings you down
Know that below the wavy ocean there is a deeper, peaceful way to be
Oh, and for all my crazy notions there is a steady place right next to me
I want to be there when you’re walking When you start walking along your wobbly way
I’ll be right behind you when you’re walking, when you go walking
Away some day
Track 15- I Wish You Well.
Barry Tallent- We Wish You Well
We met at O’Toole’s at the end of the street
You gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek
A pack of essentials was stuffed to the gills
A journal you’d purchased was ready to fill
We ate and we drank and we spoke of a trip...
Then you were gone... I wish you well
On Mackinaw Island we made G & T’s
We stayed in the best of the worst B & B’s
We ate and we drank and we spoke of a trip, then you were gone...
I wish you well
I had to pull over when I got the call
I thought of that postcard you’d sent from Nepal
That bench on the corner is where I proposed
We round up “The Orphans” and talk to your ghost
We ate and we drank and we spoke of a trip, then you were gone...
I wish you well
You gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek
A pack of essentials was stuffed to the gills
A journal you’d purchased was ready to fill
We ate and we drank and we spoke of a trip...
Then you were gone... I wish you well
On Mackinaw Island we made G & T’s
We stayed in the best of the worst B & B’s
We ate and we drank and we spoke of a trip, then you were gone...

We round up “The Orphans” and talk to your ghost
We ate and we drank and we spoke of a trip, then you were gone...
I wish you well
Track 16- In Your Heart To Stay.
Now you know another slant of sunlight on your shoulder tops
You saw the moon light up the sea
Now you’ve watched the seasons turn more softly than you’ve ever seen
You brought it all back home to me
Hey, you went away
The distance dances in your eyes again today
What did you take that’s in your heart and there to stay?
There will come another day when something calls your heart away
A destination far from home
You’ll find a sunny new horizon line to fill your mind
even your dreams have never known
Hey, you’ll go away
Your far-off gaze says more than words could ever say
What will you take that’s in your heart and there to stay?
Leaving home
Making waves out on your own
You know that a skipping stone is bound to roam
Touching down
Back on old familiar ground
But nothing feels the same this time around
There will come another day when something pulls your heart away
A destination far from home
You’ll find a sunny new horizon line to fill your mind
Even your dreams have never known
Hey, you’ll go away
The time and place no one can claim to know today
What will you take that’s in your heart and there to stay?
You saw the moon light up the sea
Now you’ve watched the seasons turn more softly than you’ve ever seen
You brought it all back home to me
Hey, you went away
The distance dances in your eyes again today
What did you take that’s in your heart and there to stay?
There will come another day when something calls your heart away
A destination far from home
You’ll find a sunny new horizon line to fill your mind
even your dreams have never known
Hey, you’ll go away

Track 17- May Your Light Shine Brightly.
May your light shine brightly, may your circle be compete
and every celebration leave you lighter on your feet
May your laugh lines telegraph a better way to be
and offer others hope and harmony
When the streetlights glow and everybody goes to a warm place they might share
Well i hope there’s room for you in happy home or two
or at least with ones who care.
and every celebration leave you lighter on your feet
May your laugh lines telegraph a better way to be

Well i hope there’s room for you in happy home or two
or at least with ones who care.
Track 18- Going, Going, Gone!
I dream the dream of early times; those times just out of reach
And in between the lessons learned and those I have to teach
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going, gone
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going, gone (Here i go again!)
Some friends of mine have sailed away, while some are distant here
And in between the few I’ve kept and those who’ve disappeared
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going, gone
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going,
Going, going, gone
I recognize a pattern now; I've seen this scene before
and in between the words I need and those I should ignore
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going, gone
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going,
Going, going, gone
And in between the lessons learned and those I have to teach
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going, gone
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going, gone (Here i go again!)
Some friends of mine have sailed away, while some are distant here
And in between the few I’ve kept and those who’ve disappeared
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going, gone
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going,
Going, going, gone
I recognize a pattern now; I've seen this scene before
and in between the words I need and those I should ignore
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going, gone
My focus dances dimly... I’m going, going,
Going, going, gone
Track 19- Here Again.
I think we’ll be back here again
The summer had to end
Just so it can come around again
I want to be back here again
We knew it from the start
We’d arrive, we’d depart
But still this moment’s pulling at my heart
Moving through these days with you
Hope to be back soon
I know we’ll be back here againIf only in a dream
Deep blues and greens
All my favorite scenes
Moving through this world with you
Hope to be back soon
After all this much is true
I hope you’ll be there, too
I think we’ll be back here again
The summer had to end
Just so it can come around again
I want to be back here again
We knew it from the start
We’d arrive, we’d depart
But still this moment’s pulling at my heart
Moving through these days with you
Hope to be back soon
I know we’ll be back here againIf only in a dream
Deep blues and greens
All my favorite scenes
Moving through this world with you
Hope to be back soon
After all this much is true
I hope you’ll be there, too
I think we’ll be back here again
Track 20- Adieu.
Adieu
Steve: We say, "Adieu." We don't say it really, but...
Eric: We don't literally say it.
Steve: No, we don't say it.
Eric: We don't really, literally mean it.
Steve: No, we don't believe it either, but...
Eric: But we're not actually saying these lyrics...
Steve: But this message should be clear, anyway...
February finds me rather cold
Marching on, whatever we behold
Carry on 'til dawn
When the night sky surrenders
Remember... when we say adieu
April showers may be just the thing
but June-bugs in July don't always sing
soldier on 'til dawn
an august, auld contender
remembers... when to say adieu
when October gives the 'embers pause
January sharpens up her claws
tarry on 'til dawn
then in sunshine and splendor
be tender... when we say adieu.

Rosetta Pebble Three-
Twenty great songs about life, replete with subtle humor and irony, coupled with great musicianship and a story telling feel. This well-crafted collection of songs takes the listener on a wonderful journey, celebrating lives both well and poorly lived, making an effort not to take it all so seriously, periodically failing, and wondering why. For the most part RP3’s music is happy and positive, but its lyrics belie an underlying angst of past pain and lessons learned the hard way.
Looking for a new favorite band? Odds are very good that this treasury of songs will carry the day. The time it takes to hear a sample may well be a moment you look back to and smile.
Music means a lot. Music changes lives. Certain songs can have the power to reach places in our souls inaccessible by other means. This CD has been described as a timeless, very accessible style of pop music that has an uncanny ability to communicate to a wide variety of people - regardless of age, race or gender. The strength and optimism embodied in these songs (at times, very sunny - at times reflective and world-weary) has a basic ability to connect with others.
Rosetta Pebble's collective creative vision has always been to the produce music that is true to their own life experiences. Living and working in the Detroit area, their song writing is colored by day-to-day interactions, interpersonal relationships, struggles and triumphs, and the wide world view that their considerable travels both in the USA and abroad have afforded them.
Eric and Steve may write songs from different perspectives, but always from the heart. They collaborate in the refinement, arrangement, and recording of those songs, and it is in the melding of those separate musical and lyrical sensibilities that their strength lies. Both put a great deal of care into every aspect of the song-creation process; the kernels of thought at the heart of each song, word choice, arrangements, instrumentation, as well as the process of recording and mixing. Both are only interested in putting forth music that is meaningful to themselves and inspiring to their listeners. Emphasis on current market trends or attempts to conform to what's currently popular have never been parts of the puzzle for Rosetta Pebble. "We serve the songs to the best of our creative abilities, and strive to make each a work of art."
What you have here is real music, for people who remember real music.
